So, when everyone stocks up on stuff that is on sale, your bill is higher than normal right? Or do you manage to stock up and still stay with the same budget?

I spent the same amount but got a LOT more food for the first 10ish weeks of doing this (I'm using Grocery Game). Now I am spending less. I spent $59 Tuesday for $160 worth of products. If you want to stock up faster you will spend more than usual. I do not stock up on anything that is not a rock bottom price.
